Criticism of Nestlé's business practices

Like many multinational companies, in recent years it has attracted criticism for its business and marketing practices in Third world countries. In Nestlé's case, this has centered on its apparent recommendations for nursing mothers to switch to its infant formula milk products and led to boycotts of its products by certain consumer groups and organizations.

International offices include Brampton, Ontario.
